Earthblade Release Window

While Extremely OK Games have not outlined a specific release date for Earthblade just yet, they have announced that the title is scheduled to arrive at some point in 2024.

The news of the release window was revealed alongside the trailer at the 2022 Game Awards.

Earthblade Trailer

The Earthblade trailer gives us a first look at the main character Névoa and their exploration through a harsh, mysterious, and vibrant world.

Showcasing combat, traversal, and even a character at the beginning that players seemingly interact with at the start of their journey, it’s a brilliant taste into what Earthblade has to offer.

Earthblade Story

In terms of story, the trailer gives very little to go off, other than that our name is Névoa and we can seemingly travel through portals to different realms or areas.

The character at the beginning of the showcase describes it as traveling through “fate”, but it seems we’ll have to wait until closer to the release for more details.

It’s clear our goal is to traverse the harsh and punishing landscape, battling any foes we meet on the way, but for the time being, Névoa’s quest is a mystery.
